Critical Success Points

• • Keep the butter very cold during lamination for successful puff pastry.
• • Do not overwork the dough to avoid excessive gluten development.
• • Blind bake the base to prevent it from becoming soggy.
• • Incorporate the hot milk gradually into the egg mixture to avoid lumps.
• • Final bake until golden coloration, otherwise the frangipane will remain pale.

Safety Warnings

• • Handle the hot oven (180°C) with care.
• • Boiling milk can cause burns – handle it with a glove.
• • Use a sharp knife to cut the mirabelles to avoid slipping.
